纽卡斯尔的酒吧
这个星期六晚，我和舍友们一起去了一个离Henderson Hall 最近的酒吧。通常酒吧的服务台都会在门口附近，点好酒后就可以去找自己喜欢的位子了。 每个酒吧的装修各有特色，基本上都是典型的英国风格，优雅，温馨；灯光不会太亮，可以让人在工作学习之后好好放松一下。 在酒吧里你可以遇到形形色色的人：有的人想在一星期的工作之后放松一下，上司与下属的关系也不想办公室里那样紧张，他们谈论任何事；有些看起来比我们大一点的学生会在酒吧里讨论作业，论文。我们一人要了一杯酒，庆祝在这里充实又丰富多彩的生活。一小时之后，我们各自去找不同的消遣，有飞镖，桌球。我们与当地人聊天，他告诉我们，有的人每天都会去酒吧，有的人只是一个星期才会去一次，大家都是为了放松一下，与朋友聊聊天，不是单纯为了喝酒才去酒吧的。通常酒吧都会在11点准时关门，大大的减少酗酒。我认为这是一个很好的经历去更多的了解英国人的文化，生活，遇到更多的人，可以帮你更快的融入这里的生活。

Belsay Hall, Castle and Gardens
We visited belasy Hall, Castle and Gardens last Monday, which is in Greek ancient, classical country house designed by Sir Charles. All of the buildings were made of stones. Belasy Hall is a 19th century country mansion. Picture 1 is the map of this group of buildings Stable Block is NO.1 in the map. There is a introductory exhibition at the gate.
After visiting Stable Block, we went to the Main Hall(NO.2 in the map), which is two-story Greek style. The Main Hall was built in 19th century. The columns at the gate are Doric order. However, the columsn in the hall are form Ionic order, the columns on the first are Tuscan. On the ground floor, there are some dinning rooms, library, rooms for relaxing or playing. There are still some romms for servants and nurseries. On the first floor, all of the rooms were used for sleeping. The windows are towards the Southeast to absorb more sunlight.
On the way to the castle, we enjoyed the magnificent gardens. Personally, I think the plants can make the environment more quiet, interesting, especially there are some monolith and spring in the gardens. In the gardens, unaltered for two hundred years, thousands of exotic species can be discovered. Sir Charles Monck designed the dramaticly romantic Quarry garden-a series of ravines, corridors and pinnacles, and his grandson, Sir Arthur Middleton, enriched it with all manner of rare and exotic plants. Picturesque landscaping covers thirty acres, which includes magnificent rhodedendorons, and see forever changing seasonal delights. For instance, snowdrops, gorgeous summer blooms or golden feay hues.
Finally, we reached the dramatic, well-preserved medieval castle(No.3 in the map) with rare wall-paintings. The right of castle was built in 14th century, the rest of them was built later. Now the entire castle is unfurnished and maintained in a condition of benign decay, with only necessary structural maintenance undertaken. Althouth there are no ceilings, floors, roofs in the left castle, you still can see the mark that people left such as cooking area.After entering the older castle, the strong stone construction is still in good condition . The stairs are very thin to spare more space to the rooms. There is a sculpture in on the second floor, called Lucky Spot that made by Stella Mccartney in 2003. Made form 8000 swarovski glass crystals, the work was painstaking and intricate, as each wire had to be numbered and carefully positioned on the stainless steel panel above. It forms an ethereal, yet solid mass and as light floods in through the castle’s medieval windows, the crystals produce brilliant prismatic patterns across the walls.
